DHS preparing to arrest leaders of sanctuary cities

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen confirmed Tuesday that her department has asked federal prosecutors to see if they can lodge criminal charges against sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with federal deportation efforts.

“The Department of Justice is reviewing what avenues may be available,” Ms. Nielsen told the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Her confirmation came after California’s new sanctuary law went into effect Jan. 1, severely restricting cooperation the state or any of its localities could offer.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan says those policies put his officers and local communities at more risk because they have to arrest illegal immigrants out in the community.

Mr. Homan told The Washington Times last July that he wanted to see local officials charged as complicit in human smuggling if they shielded illegal immigrants through sanctuary policies.

In the 1960s, the U.S. Justice Department did not file criminal charges against obstructionist Southern governors like George Wallace or Ross Barnett. Nor were Federal criminal charges filed against local officials like Bull Connor or Leander Perez. They did go after Ku Klux Klan leaders and members, who were lower echelon people, as well as attempting to imprison General Edwin Walker, who led anti-integration riots at Oxford, Mississippi, via involuntary commitment to a mental hospital.

If Homeland Security really acts, they will likely go after the most flagrant leftists at lower echelons of government, possibly in some place like Berkeley known for leftist extremism. Arresting Jerry Brown or the mayors of Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco could trigger an insurrection. 50-60 years ago, arresting Southern governors for flouting Federal law could have triggered another secession crisis. In any case, Wallace and the others backed down when faced with the regular Army and the federalized National Guard.

Good. Uphold the law. The rules have changed. We won. They lost.

It is probably too late but many of us are tired of seeing out once great nation turned into just another S-hole place.

So why does anyone have to even ask if the sanctuary city actions can be prosecuted?

Put them on the ropes. Light fire after fire just like an arsonist and keep them off balance. This is what barky did and it devastated us.

Shoe is on the other foot now I hope.

You’d think it would be enough to get those b@stards on the Oath of Office they ALL took when sworn in! Aren’t they supposed to SERVE and PROTECT the city and the citizenry they’re WORKING for?

I hope this is true. If not, I hope EVERYONE that is being NEGLIGENT IN THEIR DUTIES is starting to sweat bullets.

Jerks.

P.S. Best. Election. Ever. EVER!

How about the new governor of our soon-to-be sanctuary state?

Ditto here in VA.

...

Didn’t Trump recently sign an EO concerning human smuggling?

Absolutely. Providing officially protected rally points and staging areas to inflict every kind of corrupt third-world villainy there is upon the rest of us. Like I posted on another thread, those places will be like Pakistan is for the Taliban, like Cambodia and Laos was for the Viet Cong. This sanctuary crap needs to be not just stopped but crushed, now, before they turn into a type of existential threat that will be hard to dig out later.

Start with San Fran. Invite the Steinle family to come down and watch.

Best to do this anywhere but the 9th circuit where I am sure the "justices" have already written their opinions and injunctions.
